I participated in a blog tour for new La Choy Creations, organized by Mom Central. La Choy Creations are new boxed kits that come with rice, seasonings, and sauces, all you add is protein and you make a one-skillet meal. The kits come in three varieties – Asian Fried Rice, Teriyaki Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Chicken.
I received the Teriyaki Chicken which came with rice and teriyaki sauce, I added a pound of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into small pieces. While it was tasty, it was not enough to feed my family of five, I would say it feeds three people max. The flavors were good, but I have to say, it was not very appetizing to look at. With the beige pieces of chicken and the light brown sauce, this meal was begging for some kind of color. I’d recommend buying a can of La Choy Stir-Fry Vegetables or adding your own steamed veggies to this dish to boost the color and nutritional value.
La Choy Creations Teriyaki Chicken gets a thumbs-up from me for not containing MSG and for being very easy to prepare. If you like the flavors of Chinese Food and the convenience of one-skillet meals, give these a try. Click here to download a $1.00 off coupon.
disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of La Choy and received a sample for review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

When I wrote my review of the Amon Maternity Bodyshaper, I forgot that I was also supposed to do a $50 gift certificate giveaway! Oops! Amon Maternity carries pregnancy undergarments including belly bands and briefs, and also carries wonderful bodyshapers for post-pregnancy and anytime afterwards. My daughter is 4, and I love my Amon Bodyshaper for it’s gentle tummy support and breathable microfabric.
There is one catch, though. Amon Maternity is changing ownership this month, so the winner of this giveaway must redeem the gift certificate by February 15, 2010. By entering this giveaway, the winner agrees that they won’t hold me responsible if they forget to redeem the gift certificate and it becomes invalid. Okay? Okay!
